The subtotal module by state zone allows you to specify different shipping rates based on the method of
shipping AND the subtotal cost of the order AND the state the item is being shipped to. This
module evaluates the "ship to" state and displays its methods and rates applicable to the
destination. This prevents customers from selecting its lower rates which may not be available for them. The
module can also exclude specific product codes from the subtotal calculation, i.e. doesn't charge shipping
for specific products but does charge for those not on the exempt list. You can also have a zero shipping
charge for any subtotal range, e.g. free ground shipping on orders over $200. If you want to apply a
percentage of the subtotal instead of a specific amount, you can include the % with the rate for any subtotal
range. The module will not block the display of methods
from other shipping modules if you have more modules
assigned to your store. Not compatible with the current google checkout module as that module does not use the customer's address to select the shipping methods available.
The module currently fully supports the mivasql configuration of MIVA Merchant 5. It also supports MySQL as long as load balancing has the data stored on the single MySQL server and
permissions are set correctly on the data
directories. This would be the case in most of the server setups. If you are using Merchant 5.x and your host is web.com, you will not be able to use this module due to the way they configure their servers. There are no known issues with
other hosts.
